Re: How much of the anti-4E sentiment is actually justified?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not a 4E fan or anything; I have a really long list of complaints about the game and the PHB3/July 2010 errata fiasco was the last straw. But when you poll the average '3E good, 4E bad' fan about why 4E isn't any good, you tend to get a bunch of bullshit complaints mixed in ...

I messed up some system mastery stuff for a system I've admitted I'm not fond of and haven't played in five years, you mess up the meaning of basic words and concepts and I'm the fuckwit?

Ok, so you just use a strategy guide or AI, or common sense (in some cases) to work it out. Also... Armamentalists have 75% of the strength of Gladiators, assuming everything is maxed. If it isn't, the difference will be a lot larger, seeing as it is still 149 points at level 99, regardless of whet...

Well, the comparison does show "level 1 fighter" in D&D kills more "goblins" the later you go in the editions, and in 4e. Certainly, by making "1st level" 4e characters about as strong as "4th level" D&D characters, they made them tougher than 1st lev...

Not just that. I wasn't summarizing his argument. I was quoting it. Verbatim . That word doesn't mean what you think it means. Hi Welcome Scry locates a single person who fails their save.

It's very short ranged and can't be used in rapid succession so if you do something stupid you're stuck? But they can't use their powers with them. Once the novelty of martial weapons wears off, a 3e fighter has the option of training archery or buying some Winged Boots. 3e fighters don't get any p...

I wasn't aware of this either. Still, a 25 HP first level goblin just does not compute. Something is wrong.
It's 4.Fail. Course there's something wrong.

Well, anything vs Pathfinder means the other thing wins by default. Exception: FATAL. That's a tie.

If you want a more meaningful discussion, consider adjusting the parameters.
